Christianity Incorporated

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Budde and Brimlow have given us a dose of a new reality. Combining wit, hard social-science evidence, and a passion for true Christian discipleship, they show how the political and economic entities that promise us comfort and prosperity have, in fact, captured Christianity and warped it to their own self-serving, power-centered ends. "Without moralisms or cant, the authors point out Christian failures in the face of late modern capitalism, showing ways in which we may yet become rich, clothed, and aware of what kills and what saves. this book is a must read for everyone who thinks that Christianity is synonymous with the celebration of American prosperity and freedom, and for everyone who has doubts but cannot quite say why.”
